Some issues

Is this legal to use a GPS receiver on airplane?

FAA regulates use of electrical equipments on the airplane. While a GPS receiver does not emit any radio signals, it may be illegal to use a GPS receiver on airplane. There are actually some airlines that actually allowing use of a GPS receiver. In any case, ask flight attendents.
